Staten Island is one of the five boroughs of New York, and Long Island is an island that begins at the New York Harbor. Long Island, the largest island in the contiguous United States, is also the most populated island in any US territory whereas Staten Island is one of the least populated areas in the state.This is the key difference between Staten Island and Long Island. Staten Island Staten Island is one of the five boroughs (county-level administrative divisions) of New York City in the state of New York. It includes the south most part of the state of New York and the city of New York. Although Staten Island is the third largest borough of New York, with an area of 150 km2, it is the least populated of the five boroughs. It is also sometimes called as the forgotten borough. Staten Island belongs to the Richmond country. Figure 01: Aerial View of Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, which connects Staten Island and Brooklyn Staten Island is also the only borough of New York with a population of non- Hispanic White majority. The North Shore of the island is the most urban part of the island while the West Shore is the most industrial and the least populated area of the island. Staten Island is connected to Manhattan by Staten Island Ferry, which is a free commuter ferry, and to Brooklyn by the Verrazano- Narrows Bridge.

  • Coastal Erosion Plays a Significant Role in New York City’S Retreating Coastlines
    CToaS AL EROSION CHAPTER 4.2 Coastal erosion plays a significant role in New York City’s retreating coastlines. It also amplifies the city’s vulnerability to a variety of hazards including coastal storms, which deplete natural resources, damage infrastructure and expose New Yorkers to the risk of physical harm as well as economic hardship. WHA T IS THE HAZARD? In its natural state, our coastline is in dynamic equilibrium. Wind and waves move sand and sediment from one location to another, and what is eroded is replaced with sand and sediment from somewhere else. Coastal storms may remove significant amounts of sand, creating steep, narrow beaches. As long as sand and sediment are not removed from the entire system during storms, waves will return them during calmer periods, widening beaches and creating gentle slopes. However, human activities such as dredging, construction, and land use management may permanently remove sand and sediment. In some cases, even ill-conceived erosion control structures built to prevent erosion in one location may actually increase it in adjacent locations by blocking sand movement, deflecting or increasing wave energies, and removing vegetation, thus disrupting the natural balance of shoreline change. Long-term shoreline change can occur gradually or rapidly—as it does during storms. During the most intense storms, entire beaches may be eroded, while other portions of the shoreline, such as bluffs, may become unstable and collapse. How quickly a shoreline erodes can be hard to measure over time, as rates vary from one year to the next and may be masked in areas that undergo periodic beach nourishment.

In this report we have looked at species populations and their habitats from a broad regional perspective, focusing on large-scale physical landscape features as the basic habitat units for protection and conservation. The following general information is provided to help understand the regional physical classification units that were used as the basis for grouping and delineating regional habitat complexes. Geomorphology, or physiography, is a distinct branch of geology that deals with the nature and origin of landlords, the topographic features such as hills, plains, glacial terraces, ridges, or valleys that occur on the earth's surface. Regional geomorphology deals with the geology and associated landlords over a large regional landscape, with an emphasis on classifying and describing uniform areas of topography, relief, geology, altitude, and landlord patterns. These regions are generally referred to as GEOMORPHIC or physiographic provinces or regions and have been classified and described in various texts for the northeastern region and for the United States as a whole.
